Francesca and Elvis

Sorry for not posting any new recipe but I am really busy with this Tshirt business and it is almost ready, about a week, I promise!This is Francesca and her pony, Elvis, she volunteered to be a model for my eco-vegan Tshirts... She is vegan and lives in Monte Pastore, Bologna. We weren't very lucky because my boyfriend's camera had a slight problem, it's a CANON EOS1, and a straight white line appeared on every photo. The camera is in Milano now to be repaired. Nevermind, Francesca and his friends prepared rolled seitan and mashed potatoes for us, lovely!

This Tshirt is about global warming and says "Plant more Trees".Over 80% of the world's original forest are gone. Trees are crucial to life on our planet. They generate oxygen, play host to a spectacular variety of wildlife, and provide us with raw materials and shelter.Planting a tree can have tremendous influences on our lives. Trees reduce sound, produce oxygen, store carbon, clean the air, give shade and cool.So, Take Action! :)

Eco friendly reusable grocery bags have seen their popularity surge in the past few years. They have a dramatically reduced environmental impact. So far this year over 400 billion disposable paper and plastic bags have been wasted and are piling up in landfills. Many countries across the globe are passing laws to tax or ban plastic bag usage and people are starting to act on the Earth's behalf. Together we can help save this planet with every bag we reuse. Seattle's bill for taxing plastic bags was just voted down, but it is just the beginning and a sign of change. Communities need to continue to strive towards a solution and be proactive about setting an example for others.
